Garry's Mod: $22 million in seven years and now Garry is making a new PC game

Source code playground Garry's Mod has raked in $22 million in seven years, creator Garry Newman has revealed.

He and his Facepunch studio only see "less than half of that", though, he said, and then the tax man gets stuck into that. Then, when money is taken out of the company, the tax man gets stuck into that, too.

Still, it's luxurious living for a game with no start, middle or end. Garry's Mod takes Valve's Source code and the various assets from Valve's games and then plonks them all in a big toy chest and says there you go, do what what you will with them. With a bit of imagination, Garry's Mod is brilliant.
